Chapter 104: Mysterious Skeleton
In the Haunted Land, the sky has lost its sunlight, and under the filling of darkness and loneliness, this land, at first glance, has a bit more desolate and creepy flavor.
The crescent moon in the sky still shines, exuding a faint bloodthirsty brilliance!
Looking into the distance, Yang Xi found a village, so he walked in the direction of the village.
As he walked, a black shadow flashed in the grass behind him, crushing the grass like a roller, and quickly spread towards Yang Xi.
Yang Xi didn't seem to react, just strolling forward, when the black shadow jumped high behind him, ready to attack, his body suddenly broke in two, and he fell to the ground weakly and twitched a few times, and then lost his movement.
Turning around expressionlessly, Yang Xi was slightly shocked when he saw the monster that attacked him.
This monster is actually humanoid, with fangs interlaced up and down its mouth, annoyed by Sensen's white gas, triangular eyes, long nails, and a fierce color all over its body.
What kind of monster is this?
Yang Xi, who had never seen this kind of monster, simply ignored it and walked straight ahead.
Soon after he left, there was a sound of hushing and swishing in the grass, and several strange-shaped monsters appeared, eating the monster that was divided into two parts by Yang Xi along with the bones, and eating it with such relish, as if it hadn't eaten for a long time.
As we got closer to the village, we saw the ruins and ruins, and it was obviously a dilapidated and deserted village!
Here, Yang Xi didn't feel the slightest breath of a living person. Think about it, this is the underworld, before passing through the gate, the stone giant also said, this is the land of ghosts, not the dead, not the great evil before death. Those who have not died in vain, and those who have complained about the world after death, shall not enter.
Although Zhi Lu Dao may not be able to inquire about any news here, Yang Xi still decided to take a turn in existence, and maybe he can find something useful.
When passing by a gatehouse, Yang Xi stopped.
This small house is quite European medieval architecture, and the windows that have been worn out by wind and rain add a touch of vicissitudes to the house.
Of course, it doesn't matter, because the houses in the village are almost all built like this. It's just that this house is relatively well preserved. In particular, a mural directly opposite him is a Taoist Yin and Yang Taiji diagram! Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and looked at it carefully. At this glance, it was as if heaven and earth were already contained in it, and in front of him, only that picture remained.
Tai Chi Yin and Yang, mutual restraint, but each other. Yang Xi saw that the yin and yang fish began to turn. It turned into a huge whirlpool, like a huge beast that chooses people to devour, and like waves on the sea, with overwhelming momentum. Fierce and incomparably swept in! I woke up with a spirit, and my gaze unnaturally moved downward, under the picture. Instead, there was a huge scroll that did not match the size of the table. Above: Yin and Yang!
The door of the hall had already collapsed, and Yang Xi walked in and looked around, surrounded by dozens of books. I put some flowers and plants, because they have not been taken care of for a long time, and they are overgrown with weeds. What Yang Xi cares about is that the walls are potholed, and when you look at the outside windows from the inside, they are completely closed!
walked directly to the bottom of the Taiji diagram, opened the huge scroll, and suddenly the sound of music came, Yang Xi was stunned, the song of Orps!
Yang Xi had heard this song inadvertently, and it also reminded him of the legend about this song.
In Greek mythology, Orps was a harpist, and the sound he played was so beautiful that even the heavens and the earth were moved! In order to save his wife who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, he resolutely went to the underworld.
The ferry of the River Styx?! Gatekeeper?! Yang Xi was stunned to find out how similar his experience was to Orps?!! Huge questions welled up in his mind.
In Yang Xi's memory, when Orps rescued his wife, he was instructed by the Hades not to turn back! But at that last moment, Orps's look back made his wife fall into the underworld again, and it was impossible to save him! The grief-stricken Orps composed the most poignant piece of his life!
It's that Orps song!
Yang Xi's mind was almost sinking! The melody of desire to be frustrated, the noble and elegant melody, full of grief and confusion. This voice climbed from the lowest point to the top little by little, just like Orps, saving step by step, he was almost successful! It is indeed at the bottom of the worst, and it plummets! The period of pain is unimaginable!
At this moment, Yang Xi exhaled, as if he was about to vomit out the depression in his chest, and his mood suddenly became complicated.
If he had broken into the underworld out of curiosity at first, now he had to think about who had brought him to this place and for what purpose.
At this moment, the scroll emitted a starry light, and in the midst of the jumps, a figure was formed.
"Hello, an outlier outside the world."
It was a blonde and blue-eyed, upright Westerner in his thirties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a sharp face, although he smiled, he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
"Who are you?"
The handsome Western man did not answer Yang Xi's question, but asked a question that made him inexplicable.
"What is life and death?" Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the yin and yang diagram again, and added, "What is yin and yang?" ”
The Western man, glancing at Yang Xi, with an interested smile on the corner of his mouth, patiently waited for his answer.
Are you testing me?
Yang Xi smiled and replied with a panacea: "Life and death are even yin and yang." ”
The Western man was stunned, and he didn't know what to say about this sentence.
Individuals have different perceptions of life and death, and perhaps for a certain person, death is a terrible thing. But sometimes, for others, it's a relief! The same truth, yin and yang, who can say clearly? Who dares to say that yin is black and yang is white? Yin and Yang are so easy to distinguish between black and white?
Therefore, Yang Xi's answer left Western men speechless.
"Dare to ask your Excellency what to call it." In order to change the subject, the Western man asked.
"Yang Xi."
"A good name, according to the Eastern Taoist doctrine, 'Yang' and 'Yang' are homophonic, 'Xi' even if the morning light, meaning the rising sun, dawn is the time of the intersection of yin and yang, but also a new beginning, representing hope, perhaps"
The next words of the Western man did not continue, but Yang Xi was so full of disobedience that he didn't know what to say.
A blonde and blue-eyed sunset foreigner talked to himself about the Yin and Yang Avenue, and also analyzed the meaning of his name with a bite to chew the words.
"What is yin and yang?" It's the initial question again, but this time, the Western man didn't ask Yang Xi, but said his understanding, "Yin and yang are born out of chaos and evolve all things." Therefore, the flowers and trees in this world, the mountains and rivers, the world, have their yang, and they naturally play yin. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xi nodded in agreement.
"I think that I have practiced the way of yin and yang to the extreme, and I have glimpsed a trace of the origin." The figure of the Western man seemed to be a little blurry, but he still continued, "The way of yin and yang is ever-changing, and what it contains is naturally everything. So what I got a glimpse of was the fate of the most central location! ”
The momentum of his whole person has changed drastically from just now. If you say just now, it's as soft as a drizzle. So now, it's like a summer storm! Full of fierceness and sharpness, it is like a scholar who has no power to become a peerless master!
This Western man is not simple!
Even though he had already stepped into the realm of the gods, under his momentum, Yang Xi still felt depressed. Perhaps sensing Yang Xi's unnaturalness, the Western man's momentum quickly retracted.
In the middle of the sound, the Western man spoke again, and his tone was indifferent: "Therefore, I know everything about you!" ”
Yang Xi was not frightened by this sentence, and he didn't feel that his affairs were known, and there was nothing to panic about.
I don't do anything bad in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
The only identity of the Guardian he needs to hide doesn't have to be hidden, even if it is known?
With the support of heaven behind him, Yang Xi is fearless.
"Senior, you should have something you want me to do when you say so much, right? If I can do it, I'll do my best, and if it doesn't, I won't force it. ”
The Western man nodded imperceptibly, "There is only one thing I need you to help me do, and that is to bring this abandoned underworld back into the world!" ”
"The Abandoned Underworld?!"
"Yes, I can sense the breath of death in the Corpse Soul Realm from your body, then you should understand that there is no underworld in this world now, and all the souls have been forcibly extradited to the Corpse Soul Realm by that group of guys in the Corpse Soul Realm. The underworld, which has lost its soul reincarnation, has gradually lost contact with the main plane and has become the abandoned place you see now. ”
"Forsaken land?"
"Yes, on the River Styx, you should have seen it, there is not a single soul in the whole River Styx! The underworld, which was robbed of the power of reincarnation by the corpse soul realm, has slowly disappeared in people's beliefs, and the gods who manage the underworld are also constantly weakening, and one day they will be completely destroyed! ”
"So you brought me here because you need my help?" Yang Xi nodded in understanding, no wonder although there are various countries and different races in this world, but the corpse soul world has hardly seen the souls of other countries except for the Japanese. On the contrary, it is the great void of the imaginary circle, and many of them are Westerners.
I see, presumably at the beginning of the establishment of the Corpse Soul Realm, that Spirit King made a move, causing other soul reincarnation places to be lost like this underworld.
It's no wonder that in this world, Yang Xi found a lot of irrationalities, but he also learned about the strength of the Spirit King from the side.
"That's right, we who were quietly waiting for your demise have been trying to contact you since we discovered your existence, but unfortunately you rarely appear in this world, and there are unique rules in the corpse soul realm and the void circle that make us helpless."
"Who the hell are you!"
In the face of Yang Xi's question, the Western man Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, his image quickly changed, the skin and flesh on his face quickly disappeared, and turned into a skeleton wearing a golden crown and a gorgeous robe, which frightened Yang Xi and shouted: "Damn, Bailegang!" (To be continued......)
